Condition
The canvas is not lined. A close inspection reveals a network of shrinkage in the black pigment of the lower right quadrant. This work is in very good original condition.

Catalogue Note
oil, rope and wire on canvas. Painted in 1949.
"Si je venais à manquer de matériaux pour travailler, aller sur la plage et faire des graphismes sur le sable avec un roseau, dessiner en pissant sur la terre sèche, dessiner dans l'espace vide le graphique du chant des oiseaux, le bruit de l'eau et du vent et d'une roue de charrette et le chant des insectes, que tout cela soit ensuite emporté par le vent, par l'eau, mais avoir la conviction que toutes ces pures réalisations de mon esprit auront par magie et par miracle une répercussion dans l'esprit des autres hommes. "
Joan Miró
